Materialistic Marriages

I’ve recently come across a few gnarly nuptials in the news. They remind me of Lars and the Real Girl (which is surprisingly heartwarming!)

One involves a Japanese man who loves to get down with his pillow–and wanted to make it official. I just think that he’s going to face a problem when the honeymoon is over and he realizes that she’s just dead weight and featherbrained, is he going to start beating the stuffing out of her? I mean, she just lies around all day.

However, Lee Jin-gyu isn’t alone in his marrying of inanimate objects. Eija-Ritta Berliner-Mauer has married the Berlin Wall, or at least part of it. He’s probably pretty cold and distant, and probably pretty rude.
